The Cult - God's Zoo (Live)

[@bighill8272]

Jamie Stewart is such an underrated bassist, he was integral to The Cult's success.

[@Kelly14UK]

Aye.

[@lordikkus]

He’s the reason i started playing bass. One of the most tight bassplayers I’ve ever heard. Not bad for a guitarist.

[@JCridford]

Not to a mention a great backing singer for Ian - and he had the moves!

[@1schlumpy]

He was in the cell next to my dad's in Chino prison .... I believe he was there for drug charges... that's why he wasn't in the band later on.

[@jvoyles77]

@@1schlumpylol no he wasn’t. He wanted out of the rock star life and started a family. He works in software outside London.

[@carig121]

Nigel Preston, a beast of a drummer, the best the band ever had, so sad he died so young.

[@markconway2677]

My favorite cut from my favorite Cult album. Great energy. And that voice.

[@debbieturner6194]

Best version of this song - I bloody LOVE it.

[@CarlFrreeland]

Yea I always thought that too mate,guitar sounds fuckin ace eh!

[@stew6662]

The early post/punk stuff was the best. I remember listening to them in the radio for the first time around 1985 and blown away by what I heard. I never knew how important a drummer was to their sound. I put Nigel Preston up there with the greats

[@trevmanu1]

What a great song, especially the build up towards the end.

[@Noodles37UK]

trevmanu1 Aye.

[@The.Last.Guitar.Hero.]

Love this era of The Cult. God's Zoo has a killer riff

[@Kelly14UK]

I've said this before on YT and I'll say it again. Last year I moved house and accidentally threw out my Dreamtime and Lyceum chrome tape. This live album is so underated. Production, the band's timing and rarely ever dropping a note. Astbury's singing was top form. Glad they did definitives of these songs as The Cult.

[@edencooper8893]

The cult at its best,like most bands the magic is somewhere at the beginning of their journey in its rawrest purity.never to be revisited

[@markt5703]

so very true

[@liammuir9448]

I loved SDC and right up to and including Love, but I just couldn’t take the leap to the metal era. Paid a fortune to see the 8323 tour just to relive these heady days ❤

[@arminius4406]

Same here mate...they were magnificent in Liverpool and machester

[@mountainstartemple6041]

There is something great about this early stuff.... Billy Duffy's Gretsch White Falcon with this delay (and this cool flutter effect).... everything so raw but maybe more thoughfully abstract and intellectual with the lyrics .... the 1984 Lyceum is one of my favourite live recordings of The Cult!

[@blackangelcult1]

I love their early stuff. They are a class act!! I love The Cult!!

[@newwavepop]

The Southern Death Cult even though they never really released anything ae one of my all time favorite bands, the really early Cult stuff was great too.

[@Twinkling-Lights]

This is my very faveorite concert of them they're brilliant performance was first class such talent .

[@markwood9987]

Was at this concert and yes it was fantastic.

[@MarceloHenkin]

this is one of my favorite concerts ever. i've just found about early The cult (and The Death Cult and SDC) and i'm impressed by these videos. If they release this as a DVD i would definitely buy.

Amazing forever

[@TycoVai]

I had a boot leg copy of this on a cassette back in the 80's. It was my traveling tape. Smokin and wandering around Canada. The people in the front were havin a fukin mental time.

[@anthonypetercoleman3575]

The back! Lol

[@talearingo248]

My favorite song to dance to at the 80s punk/goth club💜💜

[@CCLilja]

I'm so envious of Jamie Stewart!

[@CasperIskov]

what a amzing great sounds of the drums and bass!! this is soooo great

[@nmacog]

Pure Magic - the old days x

[@thesean3194]

Amazing music. If only The Cult kept with this musical strategy, they might actually have been one of the biggest bands in the world today. Oh well...

[@hellboundrubber4448]

Yeah, i really don't know who they were, why didn't the integrity of this style carry them on. Instead they put out some weird ACDC crap, and then i saw Wives of Rock or something and Billy Duff had this Bimbo wifestyle life in some posh living condo scene of fake ass greedy people. It's still a mystery to me. I would like to think they got replaced by Illuminate clones and the original guys were eliminated to save mainstream society. hahaha.

[@robholland6460]

Bass from Jamie 😍😍😍

[@ReclusiveRoadie]

This version rules! That jangly guitar....that hypnotic bass line....and the visuals to boot...could Billy Duffy BE any hotter?

[@Euripedes68]

I have this on vinyl somewhere... class.

[@sweepover]

The crowd totaly into it though+love it

[@MishaHendrix]

still have it on vhs :)

[@Valhallaxp]

wicked

[@Noodles37UK]

@troyvslc He spent time in the north of Glasgow too. In fact someone I know remembers returning home to see this rock star with his feet up watching the telly. He had Electric out at the time... Hope you're not as obnoxious a year on.

[@dawnchorus8556]

Oh MAN what a fucking banger

[@jaaisenyaates7474]

Great stuff! Sutch an amazing feeling within this period of time, its kinda magical. Quite unique indeed.. Sutch a shame they sold out for American accents and cock rock!

[@rufflazy2366]

They did well, with their filthy fingers!!

@PaulS69 Dont Forget Glasgow man My Dear Green Place Although Grey now ;-)

[@blackangelcult1]

Jamie was just awesome on the Stingray bass during this period. Shame it went downhill after '87 )-:

i wish they dug this one up again.

Might be in luck later this year...

where was this filmed

[@andyr226]

The lyceum, London, 1984.

[@IAMBOG]

Dreamtime was a stroke of genius. I thought the rot started stting in with She Sells Sanctuary, which I have never thought much of. I have to say, Rain was a good album, but radically different. After that they got very dull, but very huge.

[@raymondwarmke7094]

Rain wasn't the name of the album , love was the name of the album. Get your shit right . You don't know the band so shut up. Learn the the music and the band 1st. I don't like people when they don't know what their talking about.

[@Nominay]

I was an album after you. Loved Electric, Sonic Temple was when I started having problems with Cult. It's one thing to make a stripped down album in the vein of ACDC, but to trade in the Gretsch and chase down the American hair metal cock rock scene was fatal.

[@Noodles37UK]

J-LO Sonic was good. Very good. Plus that album sleeve. But yeah, after that, no, I lost interest. Didn't like Ceremony.

[@anthonypetercoleman3575]

@@Noodles37UK I felt the same but have been opening to Ceremony now. If you’re still reading after 5 years. Lol. But listening to Temple lately ripped from my vinyl copy. Great record

I wouldn't call that American rock. It was just shit compared to this.
